*exhausted breath*  O.K.  This is the last progress picture, the next picture will have ALL OF THEM WOODBURNED!  But this is ALL of the tarot cards in the arcana for Persona 3 and Persona 4.  This includes the extras, like Adachi for example and the face on the back of the cards.  There are only 8 more left to burn  *happy dance*

This whole set will be at Anime Detour in a couple of weeks  :)

Hey guys! Remember this crazy project? It’s almost done! I’m sketching the very last tarot card right now! I hope to have the entire set done by the end of the week :) This set includes the arcana in Arena, in just… well, everything Persona 3 and...

Hey guys!  Remember this crazy project?  It’s almost done!  I’m sketching the very last tarot card right now!  I hope to have the entire set done by the end of the week  :)  This set includes the arcana in Arena, in just… well, everything Persona 3 and Persona 4  ^^  

I’m debating on whether or not I should have one last card with the image that’s on the back of the cards.  This one right here.  

The entire set will be at Anime Detour in a few weeks.  I think, maaaaybe, whatever sells I want to try and remake for Anime Central.  I might change my mind since this entire project has been insane  ^^;;  The coasters can be purchased individually since I don’t expect anyone to be crazy enough to buy all of them.

Thoughts on having the face as a card to go with it?  Thoughts on the project as a whole?

*deep breath*

O.K.  I got terribly distracted with writing and things so I haven’t worked on this in a while, but with Anime Detour coming up soon it’s back to crafting I go  :)  The insane woodburned coaster project commences!

The goal is to get the arcana from Persona 4 (and technically Persona 3) and Persona 4 Golden done in time for the convention (hence why some numbers repeat, like how Souji and Adachi have the 0 slot, ect.) There’s only 4 left to sketch: The Devil, The Sun, the Moon, and the World (I believe that’s what it’s called?)  Then I might do the back of the card as one since I like the way it looks.  So 25 (+1) coasters.

^^;;;

I’ll be selling these individually since I don’t really expect anyone to buy all of them at once, lol, but Detour is April 19th, so I hope to have a finished picture posted by then of ALL of them.

The two pictures here are the coasters so far.  Ten are woodburned and done, the others sketched (since I sketch the image in pencil first then burn over it, everything is done by hand).  To think, this started with the Magician as a test… now it’s pretty out of control!

So um… enjoy?

For the kids like me who get up way early in the morning for work, here’s the progress picture for the tarot set again  :)

Yay the insanely frustrating omg please kill me woodburning tarot card project is back in full effect!  Will post progress pictures later  :)  

I was going to wait until more of them were done, but the Fortune one has been most troublesome and I’m happy that it’s done!  So here’s a picture of it!  And here’s a picture with the Emperor because Kanji and Naoto 5eva!

O.K. Phew. Here we go.
The giant arcana coaster project that I never intended to be a project, lol! The first two rows are the finished ones that are woodburned and ready to go. The next two rows are the ones I have sketched so that I can woodburn...

O.K.  Phew.  Here we go.

The giant arcana coaster project that I never intended to be a project, lol!  The first two rows are the finished ones that are woodburned and ready to go.  The next two rows are the ones I have sketched so that I can woodburn them.

From what I can gather (including Golden and P3 and such) there are… 25 cards?  (please correct me if I’m wrong)  I know Golden has 2 for Adachi, 1 for Marie, that adds to the standard social links.  And P3 has “the World” or “the Universe” and whatnot.  

So at the moment there are 7 complete, 8 sketched, which leaves 10 more to go.  I do plan on selling these individually, mostly because I don’t think anyone would buy a full set, BUT I DO want to have ALL of them available before I start posting them on the store/taking it to conventions.

From a Persona 4 standpoint (since that’s my current SMT obsession though EVERYONE knows that) so far the major characters are done/in-progress (Souji/Yu, Yosuke, Chie, Yukiko, Kanji, Rise, Teddie, Naoto, Dojima, Nanako, Adachi – times 2, Margaret, Marie, and the entire Investigation Team – judgment, or “Seekers of Truth,” if you will).  I’m not sure how long this is going to take, but our first convention is Anime Detour and I’d like to have them there?

Fun fact:  So far the ones that have been the most troublesome are Chie, Naoto, and Adachi (Hunger/Lust), but mainly Chie and Naoto, because of the crazy details.  

Oh!  Check out these links, yo  ^^

So what does everyone think so far?

7! Now I have 7 burned and finished! I have 5 more sketched out which will make 12, but I plan on attempting to make the ENTIRE ARCANA SET! These are for sale and will be sold individually… unless if someone is crazy enough to order the entire thing...

So there’s… 20 altogether, plus 3 more because of Golden?  (though isn’t Aigis in the Aeon arcana too, not just Marie?)  Whatever the case, there will be 23 coasters.  I can’t decide if I want to post them on sale now or when the entire thing is finished, though who knows when it’ll all be finished since I ABSOLUTELY NEED to take breaks in between  ^^;;;

This is what the front of my laptop looks like these days. The first four are the burned, finished ones so far (The Fool, Magician, Empress and Emperor) and the five laying flat are the ones that still need to be burned (The Fool/Jester – thanks...

This is what the front of my laptop looks like these days. The first four are the burned, finished ones so far (The Fool, Magician, Empress and Emperor) and the five laying flat are the ones that still need to be burned (The Fool/Jester – thanks Adachi, Lovers, Chariot, Fortune – so far the hardest one to sketch – and Judgment – go Seekers of Truth!) Currently I have three blocks left and plan on doing The Priestess, The Star, and… I’m not sure ^^;;; I can’t decide between Lust, Aeon, or Hierophant. (or for the P4 savvy, Adachi’s second arcana, Marie, and Dojima)

So originally I hadn’t intended on making so many, I was just putzing around and did the Magician first, then moved on to the Emperor and the Fool, and just… I dunno, it just keeps going ^^;;;  I at least want the entire Investigation Team done, Adachi was a happy accident along with Margaret.

Don’t forget, you can order your own custom things from me!  These will be for sale, I just haven’t posted them on the sites yet, I think I want to get the rest of them done.

Finally finished the next one!  The Magician wineglass now stands next to The Fool ready to take a mortal blow.  I’m not sure which one to make next, but I suddenly find myself needing to get more wineglasses as I keep making things for Anime Iowa (and for our shop in general)  I sort of want to try The Emperor because my love for Kanji is strong but I also like the design of the Hanged Man.  I WILL do Fortune… someday, that design still sort of scares me to try and paint on a glass  ^^;;;

As always, check out the shop here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/snowtigra?ref=si_shop The Magician isn’t posted yet because I just finished it, but it will be soon  :)
